These 3 photos told something I haven't had for so many years, and the most important hint is on photo 2 to link for photo 1 to photo 3. *Malaysia Airline has joined One World as of February, 2013.
The first photo is the plane that I supposed to fly out of KL. When it cruised at around 20k feet high above the Malacca strait (25 min. after take off), I felt the plane going down a bit with the engine reducing speed. Then the pilot asked the crew "stop service". 30 seconds later, the pilot said the radar failed and got to return to KL. However, I felt that it's more than that as the plane landed at the KL airport without the reverse-thurst power (the jet engine's outer shell being opened for reverse-thurst to stop the plane). So the plane ran on the runway to the very end (the red light area). It's just a 737-800 plane that it shouldn't run to the end of the runway. MH was quite efficient to have a stand-by plane (the 3rd photo, without the One World logo) on the gate next by; so this new one took off 3 hours later of the scheduled time. Touched down at Male at 12:40 midnight.
Thanks. Pixmation, that's why I told I haven't tried this for so many years. Those times of problems with NW from JFK to NRT on engine failure on a delay of 8 hours. UA flight from HKG to LAX on another engine failure with gasoline dropping over the Japan sea and emergency landing at NRT. KLM the same issue too....

Cannot tell what went wrong.
You mean from KL to KL?

Glad that everyone is safe!
WOW what an adventure for you and the pilots.
Good that they detected the problem in time and also they can arrange another plane so fast.
